First we want to thank our patient readers who have repeatedly come back to use our classic Minutes. We appreciate your support. As you know, the Nonfiction Minute is an entirely volunteer effort. All the Minutes and the editing by our wonderful Jean Reynolds is done pro bono.

Starting this week we will start publishing NEW Minutes every Wednesday. Some are by familiar authors and some are by new authors. This week's new Minute is called "Telling Your Story" by Sneed B. Collard III. It has tips on how to let people know your own personal story in a way they will want to listen. ​Now you can scroll down and see the Minutes for this week.

We give 'em reading that gets 'em talking!
